Apologies to you personally, Charles, but the screwed-up two-party electoral
system pretty much guarantees polarization and government by the mentally ill,
and so the aggregate earns that coat of paint, even if many, many individuals
do not.
I just heard Georgia, with the sixth-highest CoViD-19 infection and death rate,
is opening up everything. Churches. Movie theatres. Concerts. All those
petri-dishes. They’ve cast their lot with Darwin.
Not many of the oligarchy will suffer very much. And even if one feels “old
people” are expendable, what Georgia is also “expending” are their essential
workers, who are often minimum-wage and minority. Movie theatre ushers. Concert
ticket-takers. Retirement home workers. Oh, and yes, not just a few
highly-trained nurses and doctors.
Sigh.
Jan
